I have changed the modem to be "bridge mode" and also "PPPOE dial" via the XR500, 

 


That setting is determined by your ISP, china telecom.

I disabled  the DHCP function in Modem.

 


Bridge mode should do that without your intervention. But I am not familiar with the modem/router you have installed and the only instructions I can find are in Chinese.

 

Maybe the  missing pictures will help.

Thanks for that, so the device in port 1 is limited to 100Mbps, this may be the device or the ethernet cable connecting it to the router so you might need to replace that to get higher speeds on that port. The device connected to port 2 does that get slow speeds also?

For a test can you revert back to not using bridge mode and then put the XR in AP mode and then test the speed please?
